Subject: PA and Support Weapons?
Hi all, This is a question for those in the realm of the official. I understand PA to be stronger and more rugged than ordinary infantry. this has got me to thinkin g. Would it be possible for PA to carry or mount Class 1 support weapons? Thi s seems reasonable to me if they can carry heavy weapons as easily as men carry standard combat arms. What say yee? Eli

See the following 2 sites: http://www.stargrunt.com/ http://home.pacific.net.au/~southernskies/sg/ouorbat.htm#funnelweb The trick is to balance the firepower with game play; I use a d4 firecontrol die & heavy weapon bands (12" x size of target), but only have limited ammo capacity. It's really only effective at short range (due to low firecon), but packs a big punch.

The ESU PA has a 20mm cannon carrying varient (RFAC/1) and I think there's another - NSL w/ DFFG/1? They add a die to the squads fire, like regular support weapons, I guess, but I'm not sure - I'm at work, and the book isn't...
